This post is a follow up from an earlier posting of Joget Workflow Form Builder - More than Just Workflow , in our quest to explore different kinds of form designs. Technical aspects discussed in this posting requires slight elevation of technical know-how, such as database table design and ERD (entity relationship diagram). In this case study, we shall use the default Expenses Claims App that comes bundled by default with every Joget Workflow installation, so that this article can double as a how-to guide for everyone to try it out. Let’s begin! When submitting a new claim, there’s a spreadsheet element to facilitate the entry of claim items. The spreadsheet element is a grid element where it establishes a one-to-many entity relationship between the claim and claim entry entities. Through the use of “Multirow Form Binder”, the claim form would be able to save the multirow data of spreadsheet into the “Expense Claim Entry” form table. “claim” is the foreign ke...

Over the years, we have received many requests from our customers and community on how to improve their applications built on top of our low-code/no-code platform, Joget Workflow. Ironically, the most requested feature is not actually about workflow. It is about the form. Evidently, as what we can see in our community , the most discussed feature is actually about forms.

A few years ago, we published a post about the advantages of Joget Workflow and why everyone needed to pay attention to the platform. Back then, Joget Workflow was in its third edition and in the post, we talked about the key benefits offered by the v3. But years have come and gone and Joget Workflow has gone through a handful of upgrades and revisions, and new features have been added, too. More importantly, the platform has evolved from being just a workflow and business process management (BPM) engine to a full-fledged suite of tools for building business applications that matter. This simply means there are more things you can do with Joget Workflow now than we covered in the v3 post back in 2011. So we’re putting this together to help you have a more comprehensive knowledge of what you can accomplish with Joget Workflow, plus some major advantages associated with the platform. But before we get to that, let's quickly get a handle on what the platform is about, for thos...

Joget Workflow v5 comes with many new features and enhancements  You can view the full list of new features from the v5 knowledge base located here . So what is the most exciting v5 feature? For me it has to be the much enhanced App Generator. Imagine, generate a production ready Joget Workflow app in minutes. It has opened up new possibilities for developers ( citizen or otherwise) and business users to greatly speed up their Enterprise app development process. Not just for prototyping but for delivering full functioning production applications. Well, exactly how is the latest App Generator exciting compared to v4 or to other agile development platform. Here is what I put forward. Low-Code Platform First of all, the App Generator made it's first appearance in Joget Workflow v4 beta back in 2013. It was ground breaking in that it allowed users to create a form and from the form, generate a full-fledged functioning web app with or without a workflow approval cycle. And al...

Effectively from Joget 3.1.0 onwards, we have added in "Data Priority" option to the Hidden Field to cater to more use cases on the handling of data. Data Priority option in Joget 3.1.0 and onwards Data Priority determines on which value to be taken into consideration. There are 3 options with their own data precedence to cater to different use cases. Prioritization option in Joget version prior to 3.1.0  This would mean that we are replacing a very simplistic option available in prior version of Joget as depicted above.
